One might feel as if the present is completely devoid of romanticism. This piece of music will take you back to one of the most fantasized about periods in western culture. It is a voyage to the starry-eyed post war era depicting the adventures of an endeavoring young gentleman and his escapades into a mirage of passionate tropical and Mediterranean fervor.

“A guide leads two men through an area known as the Zone to find a room that grants wishes.”

I promised to make a mix for LDBK and it is finally ready. It took quite some time to make the research and track selection, as I had this concept and wanted to make it perfect. The idea is to create a mixtape revolving and complementing what is in my opinion one of the best movies ever made – Stalker. In order to achieve the desired effect and set the proper mood the mix employs intermissions from the movie’s dialog as well as some bizarre and unconventional music.

- Presumably a meteorite fell down here about twenty years ago. It had burned down the settlement. They searched for this meteorite, but never found it, of course.

- Why “of course”?

- Then people began disappearing here. They came here and never returned. So it was concluded… that this meteorite was not really a meteorite. At first… they circled the place with barbed wire to scare off the inquisitive. All this gave rise to rumours that there’s a place in the Zone… where wishes come true. Naturally, they began to guard the Zone like the apple of their eye. Who knows what kind of wish someone might cherish.

- What was it if not a meteorite?

- I told you, no one knows.

- And what do you think?

- Nothing. Or anything. A message to mankind, as one of my colleagues says. Or a gift.

- Some gift.

- Why on earth would they do it?

- To make us happy. The flowers are blooming again, but they don’t smell for some reason.

* Intermission 1

- Here we are… home, at last. How quiet it is. This is the quietest place in the world. You’ll see for yourselves. So beautiful here. Not a single soul here.

* Intermission 2

- Well, it’s time.

* Intermission 3

- The Zone is a very complicated system… of traps, and they’re all deadly. I don’t know what’s going on here in the absence of people, but the moment someone shows up, everything comes into motion. Old traps disappear and new ones emerge. Safe spots become impassable. Now your path is easy, now it’s hopelessly involved. That’s the Zone. It may even seem capricious. But it is what we’ve made it with our condition. It happened that people had to stop halfway and go back. Some of them even died on the very threshold of the room. But everything that’s going on here depends not on the Zone, but on us! I think it lets those pass who… have lost all hope. Not good or bad, but wretched people. But even the most wretched will die if they don’t know how to behave. You have been lucky, it just warned you.

* Intermission 4

- Did you hear it?

- Maybe someone lives here?

- Who?

- You told me yourself about some tourists camped here when the Zone originated.

- There’s no one in the Zone and there can’t be.

* Intermission 5

- How are we going to return?

- They don’t return here.

* Intermission 6

- Oh, my God! And where are… Did they remain here like that? Those people?

- Who knows. I remember them packing at the station, getting ready to come here. I was just a boy. They all thought then that somebody wanted to conquer us.

* Intermission 7

- Don’t! Leave it alone! Don’t touch it! Don’t touch it, I said!

- Are you crazy? What’s the matter with you?

* Intermission 8

- Let everything that’s been planned come true. Let them believe. And let them have a laugh at their passions. Because what they call passion actually is not some emotional energy, but just the friction between their souls and the outside world. And most important, let them believe in themselves, let them be helpless like children, because weakness is a great thing, and strength is nothing.

* Intermission 9

- Pull. The long one. No luck this time.

* Intermission 10

- Coming true here is only what’s in line with your nature, with your essence, of which you know nothing. But it’s there, in you, directing you all your life. And things like conscience, anguish, they are just inventions.

- Haven’t you seen them? They’ve got empty eyes. The only thing they can think about is how to sell themselves not too cheap! How to get as much as possible for their every emotional movement! They know they were “born for a purpose”, “called upon”! After all, they live “only once”! Can people like that believe in anything?

- Stop it, calm down. Try to sleep, will you? Go to sleep.

- And nobody believes. Not only those two. Nobody! Who am I going to take there? Oh, God… And what’s most awful… is that no one needs it. No one needs that room. And all my efforts are just in vain.

A set contributed to Sofia’s infamous’ club radio. Here’s what they said about it:

Roughly two years after the infamous yeahman, the man behind the Moonphases radio show, started playing @ vlkv and initiated devastating parties at the basement, he is finally being featured here with a perky mix showing he will never be able to escape in whole.

May’s guestmix comes from avid French DJ & producer Wankers United who delves deep into electronic synth territory. With funky, cheeky beats on the forefront of his selection, some heavy French hip hop in the heart and extravagant retro-futuristic skweee in the backbone, the set is sure to raise an eyebrow or two!

My set takes you back to the 90s, heavily influenced by the garage scene and its recent revival, with a wink towards the deep house music. The selection revolves around my favourite tracks from the period, most of which were on heavy rotation in my livesets in the past few months, and aspire to arm you with plenty of positivistic vibes for the summer.

April’s Moonphases’ guestmix comes from Sofia’s Meerou. The mix tells the story of the sleazy affair involving raw and unpolished, nu-skool Chi town beats intertwined with some smooth, mellow, sax-jazzy sounds and their unorthodox relationship.

The sunny side of April inspired me to create a blend of vibrations that can only be described as pure synthetic funk, throwing in some disco, SKWEEE, experimental hip hop & reggae for a good measure, grasping for the summer!

Bio (Message): My name is Miroslav and my DJ nick is Meerrou (basically my real name, but purposely misspelled). I just love bragging, but unfortunately there is nothing to brag about in musical terms. The only music initiative I am currently involved in, is Swine Riddim Nites, a free-of-charge events series founded by Stefak (mentasession.org) and me. With this event series we aim to help local kids hear new and upcoming musical styles, and also, to support different DJs and producers by letting them showcase their vision of music in a nightclub environment (VLKV Club).
Last October I promised ye. to make a mix for his Moonphases radio show. Ever since then he was periodically reminding me that I should keep to my promise. Six months later, in April 2012 there was literally no argument that I could use to prolong the promise further. So, I told him I was on it this time, however I left the whole task until the very end . As you could probably guess, the downside of doing such a lazy move is that you have to make a track-selection and record the mix in no time. Anyways, my quickie guest mix features Juke, Ghetto Tech and Ghetto House tracks. I kind of dig thеse styles because I think their “beauty” hides in their raw and unpolished sound. Hope that at least one person would like it. Shouts to VlkVankata, Milenkata, Isen$hala and Poisona.
Almost forgot, if you like my mix you can also check some of my other mixes at mixcloud.com/meerrou/

The March edition of Moonphases features the sounds of a promising young Bulgarian talent in the face of Mojogoro. With a breakcore/experimental phase behind him, he admits his music is getting more and more accessible to the audience. This can also be heard in his set, spanning several decades and genres of electronic music, starting from Kraftwerk, delving past a few of his own productions as Energetic Slash & Mojogoro, to reach a footwork-ish ending.

My set takes you on a journey back to NYC in the beginning of the ‘90s in search of the roots of house music. It features several tracks from the emblematic Burrell brothers’ label Nu Groove, some sounds from the much understated 707 drum machine, as well as several dusty gems I uncovered while gathering material for what turned out to be an unusually deep and elegant, yet somehow minimal and raw sounding mixture compared to current trends in house music.

Bio: My name is Gorazd. I started my career as DJ in Sofia, Bulgaria in 2006. My sets back then constituted entirely of my own music – breakcore and experimental. Time has passed and things changed as I was reborn musically several times, nowadays my sound is getting more and more accessible to the larger audience. My professional career also involved a lot of producing for other artists in all genres, as well as some personal projects inspired by the hip-hop beats. My musical influences from an infant age include wave, grunge, punk and rap, so at some point they always find their weird place in my music.

Moonphases in February is comprised of two sets showcasing different styles illustrative to their eras.

Clipper has prepared a unique selection of music that was used by the Bulgarian national TV and radio (the only TV and radio stations at that time) during the communist times in the 70’s and 80’s. It includes music from emblematic programs and shows like “Dobro Utro“ (Good Morning), “Studio X”, “Vsyaka Nedelya” (Every Sunday) , “Atlas”, “Nedelya 150” (Sunday 150) and others. A mark of those times for everyone who lived in Bulgaria during the communist regime and was exposed to this spacey and hypnotic music, which sounded from every TV and radio set, in every household.

On the reverse we have sirens, wild piano riffs, super pitched vocals, multiple mentions of ecstasy/love, (I skipped on the whistles) which all point to a RAVE. Of course it’s not your regular jungle/rave set, but more like something I would be playing, was I born some 10-15 years ago. The selection comes primarily from ’91-’92, but also includes some heavily edited older jams, as well as some recent takes on the popular genre.

Bio: Dj Clipper is coming from the eastern parts of Europe or more accurately – Sofia. Influenced by the 70’s and 80’s you can expect to hear an eclectic concoction of various styles, such as cosmic synth disco, italo fetish , hi nrg cocadisco, chicago new beat, eastern psychedelica or balearic slow-tempo progressive rock … you name it.
You can catch him playing in Sofia at places like Studio 414, Butchers, Vlaykova, Plan B and Culture Beat or somewhere at the Black sea cost during the summer time. If the wind is not blowing you towards the eastern parts of Europe and you might hear him at clubs like About Blank , Cookies , Kleine Reise.
Clipper is also part of the already emblematic Disco Comrades (together with Emil Doesn’t Drive and Niki Phoenix).www.soundcloud.com/djclipperwww.facebook.com/DiscoComradeswww.residentadvisor.net/dj/clipper

The first Moonphases in 2012 is influenced by Berlin and represents the town’s techno scene refracted through the prism of my perception of the city. It borrows heavy on the Berghain-esque style of techno music, while still retaining some UK-Bass essentials. To be enjoyed on Berlin-sized stacks of Funktion-One speakers!

Live recording of the sets performed by Dmitroff and me at the Moonphases 4th Anniversary Birthday party at Club VLKV, Sofia on the 8th of October 2011 with the help of two MCs – Dessy Messy & Riddimbox. A crazy night and an equally crazy recording!

The 50th edition of Moonphases marks the end of the awesome 2011. The guestmix comes from a young Bulgarian DJ and producer Nick Nickolov. He made a name for himself on the tech house scene with solo productions, as well as part of the Surrealism duo. His set brushes on the edges of both modern house and post dubstep and goes as far as IDM.
On the flipside my set, has a genuinely lo fi foundation, swelling into a climax of some classical house tunes before delving further deep…

Bio: You wouldn’t guess Nick’s age if you only know him by his musical achievements. Working on solo production aswell as producing under the Surrealism moniker, he’s tunes are heavily played by house and techno DJs varying from Josh Wink to Bulgaria’s own Kink.
DJing for Sofia’s most exciting promoter Elevate, you’d see him rubbing shoulders with the likes of Nick Curly and Adam Port.

It’s been four remarkably fun years doing the Moonphases show. To properly commemorate the special occasion we have five of the grandfathers of SKWEEE on the show, creating an intricately mesmerizing individuality for this anniversary’s episode. The sets by Melkeveien, Sprutbass, Daniel Savio, Mesak, Beatbully & me are now available for download and stream!

Skweee has originated in the Nordic countries and was created by Harmönia Finland and Flogsta Danshall Sweden. The music is often referred to styles like wonky, electro funk, 8-bit, instrumental hip-hop and dubstep but has certainly its own demented twist. More general info about the movement: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skweee, www.nationofskweee.com

There was a documentary film about the skweee movement released in 2009. “We call it Skweee” has been screened in more than 30 film festivals and parties around the world. Info and availability of the film can be checked here: www.wecallitskweee.com/

Melkeveien

Kristian Møller Johansen (1982) is a Norwegian producer and artist. He is known for running the label Dødpop Records with Robert Lorenzo and Bård Harazi Farbu since summer 2008. Working with electronic music for 12 years, in and out of many different projects, he is now focusing on releasing his debut album under the alias of Melkeveien.

With two critically acclaimed solo albums behind him, Daniel Savio has grown a reputation as perhaps the finest, most mind boggling electronic beatmaker to come out of Scandinavia. Widely regarded as the inventor of skweee music (as in “squeezing” as much as possible from lo-fi instruments), Daniel’s music continues to find paths beyond the audibly possible. This has taken Daniel to numerous clubs and electronic music festivals worldwide while also being featured on XLR8R TV. His awards history includes the club/dance Grammy award as a member of Hundarna Från Söder in 2003. His solo production and studio work include collaborations with artists from Rye Rye, to contributing studio work to Britney Spears second album (called in to assist Max Martin with turntablist work on the pop icon’s second album).

In addition to live shows of his own material, Daniel’s discoid DJ sets come as a veritable showcase of unheard of private pressings from long forgotten Swedish synth demo bands. In its many forms, Daniel Savio’s DJing has been featured on the world famous Beats In Space radio show, as well as on the legendary mix CD “Disco Opera”.

BEATBULLY raises havoc on the dance-floor with his mpc and his delightful funky beats. He is on of the co-founders of the Norwegian skweee-label Dødpop and as a veteran beat-maker he has conceived his own unique sound: Minimal, yet funky, heavy, but catchy beats – all with roots deeply planted in hip-hop and r‘n‘b. Label-mate MELKEVEIEN often describes Beatbully‘s music as a bouquet of flowers flowing against you – strong colours like turquoise, pink, green hitting you hard.

Beatbully‘s début album “Kosmisk Regn LP” came out on Dødpop in march this year and became quite the favourite among music-critics and beat-heads.

“Bølleboogie has an irresistible beat that leaves no one behind on the dance-floor, and the juicy melody won’t release you till it’s over. It’s a three-minute piece of bliss that will make even your grandmother dance” – The Guardian Music Blog

“The song’s undercurrent of fat, bloated synths is barely a match for the plethora of spry and dazzling synth melodies that crackle in and out, yet lackadaisical kick-drums and hand-claps stickily hold it all together.”

“Beatbully proves that he also excels at the pensive, sunshine side of the synthesizer, offering more than just fluorescent clad 8 bit drum structures. Layering his tracks with relatively simple melodies he creates an electronic haze worthy of lengthier lament.” – Sonic Router

“If you just thought Skweee was a little bit daft, check out Beatbully and you might be pleasantly surprised. Recommended!” – Boomkat

Mesak (Tatu Metsätahti) is best known for his electronic dance music works on Harmönia and Klakson labels. He has also solid background in music production with his legendary Finnish electro group Mr Velcro Fastener plus some other other bands such as Star You Star Me, Gadgets, Cae$ar.

At the moment Mesak is working and living in Berlin, Germany. He’s currently writing more solo material and two albums in collaboration with other artists.

Mesak (Mr Velcro Fastener) and Randy Barracuda (Imatran Voima) direct the HARMÖNIA RECORD LABEL which has released critically acclaimed and highly successful compilations, albums and singles. The pioneering skweee label of Finland, is globally praised for its unique and heavy-hitting funky sounds. Despite the small pressings and strictly underground nature of the label, Harmönia releases have been supported by innovative djs and musicians such as Don Letts, Hudson Mohawke, Kode9, Modeselektor and Thom Yorke among others.

So far the label’s artists have been spreading the gospel of fresh synthetic funk to more than dozen countries. Alongside hundreds of club gigs in Europe and US, they’ve skweeezed the shit out of audience at all the major electronic music festivals, such as Bloc Weekend, Flow Festival Helsinki, Nu Music Festival and Sónar Festival.

“…The best synth- work since the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack! …” Straight out of the fresh, new scandinavian skweee-scene comes Sprutbass. Behind the artist Sprutbass, you find the Norwegian musician Eivind Henjum. After many years active as a musician, playing the electric bass and synth in several Norwegian acts, Henjum decided he had to fulfill his innermost musical dreams. Growing up with the best from both the seventies and the eighties, this meant funky old school beats, heavy synthbass (the Sprutbass…) and odd, soothing, spaced out synthleads; the little bastard space-child of Bootsy Collins, Jan Hammer, New Order, Man Parrish and Kraftwerk was finally born.

Sprutbass first got attention on the skweee-scene with the hard hitting single “Ulykke” (dødpop 02, 2008) and has never looked back since, releasing mainly on dødpop, but also contributes on compilations from well renowned labels like the finish Harmönia and spanish LoFi-Funk label as well as the club-favorite remix of Jaga Jazzist One-Armed Bandit, released on Ninja Tunes 2010. Sprutbass has done extensive touring all over Europe the last years as a proud swordsman representing the Norwegian skweee- movement, hammering his old synths and samplers – filling floors at clubs in Brighton, Barcelona, Paris, Berlin and Oslo.

This November’s show features Reykjavík’s resident Brezo who captures autumn’s spirit in a dense yet salubrious mixture of Icelandic sounds, inspired by the likes of Autechre, the Artificial Intelligence compilations, Warp records and his early year’s experiences of mixing with tapes.

My set is a slow motion, elegant mixture of sexy disco infused tracks which gradually lead you on a voyage through the avant-garde of unconventional house music.

Bio: Brezo is Born in Ruse, Bulgaria. Lives in Reykjavik for the past 10 years. Started dj-ing with tapes in the mid 90s. Major early influences: Autechre, Artificial Intelligence compilations, Warp records, and early jungle and drum and bass. Co-foundeer of Dubstep Re:Formations podcast series, available on mixcloud.

The September 2011 edition of your favorite radio show with a guestmix by the young and talented Bulgarian DJ and beatbox artist Riddimbox. A set which represents his vision of the state on the UK Bass scene at the time, as influenced by Riddimbox’s Hip Hop and RnB background.

YE.’s mix showcases the best tracks of the ’11 summer and is complete mash of genres, beginning with a sci-fi disco jam, through post dubstep, house, deep techno, a pinch of classical uk garage sound and some RnB to boot.

Bio: Riddimbox is a free-minded music lover, beatboxer and DJ from Bulgaria. Largely influenced by Hip Hop and RnB, he discovered the UK club scene back in 2005 and has been exploring the diverse and constantly evolving world of bass music ever since.

Apart from becoming a national beatbox vice champion in 2009 and participating in this year’s edition of Mellow Music Festival – the only major local annual event dedicated to future-thinking electronic music, Riddimbox has his own weekly radio show hosted under the It’s Personal moniker, where he represents a deeper, alternative view on contemporary club music. Years of life between the town of Sliven and the Southern coast of the Black Sea have resulted in a unique warm vibe that is characteristic of Riddimbox’s DJ Sets. They often mesmerize the listener with dazzling selection and seamless transition between tempos and genres ranging from smooth Pop & RnB to top-notch electronica.

The August edition of the show comes from one half of Bluba Lu – one of the most innovative and prolific Bulgarian music formations – Koka MassJazz. The set takes you on an exciting & thrilling, two hour journey from the concealed realms of acid jazz through Latin house’s sun-drenched vibrations, to an intricately unique finale in the cozy domain of chilly lounge music. A mindboggling summer treat, to be enjoyed with lots of ice!

BlubaLu are regarded as the main people behind the new sound of Bulgarian music scene.

Koka MassJazz is created in 2010 as a solo project of Konstantin Kacarski, who started work on the conceptual jewel Quadrotopia – Quadrotopia Remixed, which was nominated as tehe Bulgarian entry for Grammy for best electronic project.

In collaboration with the cult music shop Duikan Meloman (www.meloman-bg.com) they created the monthly White Label Session, which showcases new albums, artists and labels.

In the beginning of 2010 BlubaLu recorded an album featuring Eddie Stevens of Moloko, which will be released in the end of 2011.

This month’s (July) edition of Moonphases comes with an awesome mix by the very talented Romanian DJ & producer Blacktee. My set is a summery-old-school-house-garage mix, perfect for those long days at the seaside.

Bio: Born in a small town near Bucharest and moved to the capital out of academic purposes, Blacktee is part of the new wave of young producers that have already got a lot going for them. He started producing in 2008 being heavily influenced by the UK Funky sound and soon the number of listens on Soundcloud gone up and interest started building up.

2011 has been a massive milestone for the Romanian producer/architect in training with two releases under his belt already. One on the Irish imprint Hsuan Records sold exclusively through Boomkat and the other on London based No Stranger To Danger, the latter bringing him some well deserved exposure on the world famous XLR8R magazine. Clocking appearances on music blogs from Stomp Mag, Ukfunky. Net and the Romanian Electrocutare blog he’s also been recording mixes for Heineken Electrolab and Can Of Thought.

His tunes have been popping up on Heavyfeet’s Unity Radio show and Guy Andrews’ mix for Getme among others.

It will come to no surprise to anyone if Blacktee will soon become one of Romania’s household names in terms of experimental bass music and achieve the worldwide notoriety he so greatly deserves.

June edition of Moonphases: my set is an amazingly stormy & wild dubstep / uk funky fusion, the guest mix is by the young Italian producer Angelo Draetta, showcasing his new release on the only Bulgarian vinyl label Render Obedience.

Bio: There is no other justification for the growing success of this young talent the contemporary music scene. Angelo Draetta, 16, did his best weapon of constancy imposing its name as a tangible reality for everyone. A story began to play, just 12 years, which led to the first publications in a number aka; was just the beginning of his adventure: the time to get back and tossed with angel himself completely in the discography, finally signed the his work under his own name and in a few months signing contracts with several good prestige label. Angelo is proof that the work, passion and meritocracy in music are rewarded over time. What Draetta Angel is a book that is written day after day, page after page, where new sounds, emotions and experiences waiting to be experienced at the time of his music.

Bio: A year ago two friends – Dessy Messy & Vityaz – sharing a common/uncommon mind have gathered togeteher to form the duo Great2MeetU! They are connected not only by the great power of music, but also by bonding together flashing neon meadows and wild horses. They express their weird sounding selfs with no limitations nor regrets for the consequences.

Bio: Gravious, aka Ali Jackson, is a dubstep and electronic music producer based in Glasgow, Scotland. He started producing around 2001, inspired by the likes of Future Sound of London, Boards of Canada, LTJ Bukem and Aphex Twin. But it was only 2004 that he heard the first early dubstep, and found the sound he was looking for. His first single (Wormsign/Monlith) came out on the legendary Hot Flush label in 2006, and was followed up by several other vinyl releases on the label.

Over the next few years he had releases and remixes on several other labels, and took his live performances across Europe and Australia. Venues shaken by Gravious bass include a Hungarian TV tower, an Australian Tree House, Brussels Botanical Gardens, and the deep end of swimming pool in Den Haag!

In 2011, Gravious already has two 12″ releases under his belt, with the 3 track ‘Junction City EP’ on Saigon Recordings in January, and “Future Blues” on the brand new Davey Jones label in the following month.

Bio: The disease known as ‘electronic music’ infected the patient called StefaK back in 1995. Since then this disease passed through various phases and now can be declared chronic.
In 2004 together with a group of friends started the tech-house.info website and soon after that began organizing parties. Those parties took place in Sofia’s Lifehouse club and due to their success turned into series called “United In House”. In the beginning of 2006 alongside with Pafel and few bottles of “Menta” he started as joke a radioshow on the Burgas online “Radio Proval”. It didn’t take that long that that show was transformed into a Menta Session Podcast and respectively into blog. Recently StefaK started taking part in the monthly radio show led by The Bulgarian and Vlad Sokolov on ibreaks.co.uk. From some time now he is also a A&R of Feta Recordings. His latest piece of work can be heard on Menta Session’s podcast catalog.

Bio: When David Labeij (1978) bought his first turntables in 1997, it soon came clear to him that this was what he should have been doing all along. Starting in a little attic somewhere in Amsterdam, this new found hobby soon turned into a lifetime passion. For two years he played a various range of styles, until in 1999 he discovered the new minimal techno sound that was emerging from Germany and so. This sound was exactly what he was waiting for. Playing small gigs here and there in Amsterdam for some time, when not long after the millennium a good friend (now his booker) gave him his first producing program.
Starting at home making his first loops opened up a whole new world for him, and making his own tracks became more and more serious over the next couple of years.

Things really started moving when in 2004 David hooked up with Laurens Lanting (dj/producer Lauhaus) in the studio for the first time. The guys knew each other from the house scene in Amsterdam and decided to try and make some music together. There was a huge click between the guys musically and socially and some time later they came up with a name for their new project, “Polder”.
During this time in Amsterdam djs / producers Shinedoe and 2000 and One were setting up there labels (Intacto – Remote Area) and when they heard the stuff from Polder they were blown away.
This resulted in the first releases in 2006 and not long after David’s first solo releases on Remote Area.
With his music finally out there the gigs came. Playing Clubs, festivals and parties like Panorama Bar Berlin, Fabric London, Goa Madrid, Vollt Amsterdam, Space Ibiza, Grunanlage Hamburg, Cocoon Frankfurt, Awakenings Amsterdam, Fuse London, and many, many more….

Now it is 2010 and with his dj sets and live sets he’s been rocking dancefloors all over Europe. Internationally known for his techno sounds as one half of Polder, his solo productions soar between hypnotic deep house and delicate techno, the same thing you can expect from his dj and live sets. Look out for his schedule on:

Kamen Dimitrov, aka Dimitroff started as a DJ, when he and few of his friends decided to do underground parties around their city, which were very successful at that time. Then he started to play in small club called Deep Down where he was able to develop some of his skills as a DJ and his style of music. No long after, were his appearances in other clubs around his city. At the year of 2006 he teams with few of his friends from the promotional agency Adultempo and they started to do their own night at club Life House, called United In House. This was the year when he started to do his first music production steps under the moniker – Sliced Funk (myspace. com/slicedfunk), and after an year of beat making, he already had a track signed with one of the biggest US house labels – Om for a mix compilation done by DJ Mark Farina. He also has tracks signed and released digitally for labels like Kolour Recording, Black Crack, Shak Digital. Dimitroff is known for his diverse style of music, his sets go from deep, funky house to more tech-ier and dark rhythms, with an acid house flavor.
